SEDRO-WOOLLEY, Wash. -- The owner of a teriyaki restaurant in Sedro-Woolley has asked local law enforcement to no longer dine at the establishment, the Skagit County Sheriff's office said Thursday.

Four Skagit County Sheriff's office deputies were eating at Lucky Teriyaki when two went to pay the bill. As they were paying, the owner told deputies they were no longer welcome at the restaurant.

"They were told that other customers didn't like law enforcement there," Sheriff Will Reichardt said in a Facebook post.

Reichardt said his chief deputy followed up with the owner. The owner repeated the request, Reichardt said, and asked "that we spread the word to other law enforcement that they were no longer welcome either."

The post has taken a life of its own on social media, and is being shared with community members who are shocked by the request.

"Regardless of your feelings about law enforcement, that was nothing but wrong on so many levels," Faye Whitney wrote on Facebook.

Tell the Owner of Luckey Teriyaki we have turned him in to the ASPCA as we is N0 -Sorry. For a shortage of skunk in the area.

He can also pay the Fines and Fee's and Penalties and Special Tax for sending his Fruit Vegetable Juice down the drain as it has contaminated the Lagoon. Killing all the Mud Bug's he was getting for FREE !!!

Because he has created such a disturbance - If he Call's do to a robbery for $7.00 we do Not GIVE a WOK

Wasn't a cake shop somewhere closed down because they refused to serve people from a certain "persuasion"?
Surely Teriyaki must be closed down too? This is discrimination, call the protesters , flag burners ...

ask why a red blooded, southerner wearing the star spangled banner carrying a bible aint allowed to walk into a local mosque.... why are their beliefs not supported by law, but others are...what ever happened to the right to refuse service...its a private business, not a critical care center or state/city service....

see the hypocrisy of it all...

but nobody seems to bitch when a gun store owner refuses service to a middle easterner...
but what if ol Habib was a good guy born in New Jersey and just wanted to buy a 22 to protect himself while driving his personal car for Uber?

yet the world looses its mind when a gay couple is turned away from a bakery when they ask for a wedding cake.

anybody see the problem here?...

If the framers of the Constitution could see what is happening today...the Constitution and the Bill of Rights would look very different.

WE walk a very fine line between what we perceive as righteousness and evil...the problem is we sway from side to side without even noticing depending on mood and bias.

I think as a business you should be allowed to serve who ever you want....just be prepared for the consequences of that bias...everything has its price.

showing a preference will only get you into trouble, 90% of everything is crap...
